What types of masks are there?

The “surgical mask” type

Is intended to prevent the projection of secretions from the upper airways or saliva which may contain infectious agents that can be transmitted during the expiration of the wearer. 

In the best of all possible worlds, each contagious person should be able to wear one from their first symptoms, to prevent contamination of those around them and their environment. 

Respiratory protection (of the FFP type)

Is a filtering face mask (of the FFP2 type) consisting of a face piece and a filtration device? It is recommended for healthcare personnel during the inter-human and pandemic transmission phases and is intended to protect the carrier against the risks of inhalation of infectious agents transmissible by air. It also protects it a forgery against the risk of droplet transmission. 

Homemade face mask

Protect yourself with a scarf, or wearing a homemade mask… these techniques have not proven their effectiveness, but why not. 

As long as, here again, we respect the barrier measures. It is the most important. It is especially important not that people feel invincible just because they wear a fabric mask and then forget to stay away from their loved ones.

Face Shield

It is not the best way of protection from the Chinese Virus because of the vent that residue a major space for air and virus to enter. Yes, it is effective if you are wearing a mask and on the top, you have a face shield. 

Primarily, the combination of wearing a mask and on the top, the face shield is most effective.

How to use a face mask

1. Wash your hands before putting on your face cover mask, also called a homemade mask.
2. Place the face cover over your nose and mouth, securing it behind your ears with rubber bands (or string).
3. Adjust your face cover over your nose.
4. Also adjust under your chin.
5. Wash your hands after putting on your face mask.
6. Change the face cover if it is wet, soiled, or damaged.
7. Do not keep the face-covering hanging from your neck or hanging over an ear. If you bit your face cowl whereas carrying it, wash your hands
8. To remove the face cover, grasp only the rubber bands (or strings) without touching the front of the face cover.
9. Fold the inner parts of the face cover over each other and place it in a clean bag. Wash your face cover as soon as you get home with the rest of your laundry.
